...I want to build a map of the countries of Africa, in order to add points of collecting species of beetles, for later publishing. library(maptools) library(mapdata) When I put the extreme coordinates of Africa, the map began only at longitude 0? and thus lacks the west africa part: x<-map('world2Hires', xlim=c(-18,52), ylim=c(-35,38)) I attempted with the following script: E<-map('world2Hires', xlim=c(0,52), ylim=c(-35,38)) W<-map('world2Hires', xlim=c(342,360), ylim=c(-35,38)) It ran fine but now I don't know how to get these two maps jointed. I guess it may...

My aim is to create a figure consisting of three maps: Alaska in the upper left corner, the 48 contiguous US states in the center right, and Hawaii in the lower left corner. In some ways the figure I'm trying to create is analogous to figure 1.5 in Paul Murrell's excellent "R Graphics", which combines a map of New Zealand with a map of the world. I tried adapting the code

My goal is to prepare a thematic map of the US, with states shaded according to their values for a variable of interest. I would like to include an inset for Alaska in the upper left and an inset for Hawaii in the lower left. If possible, I'd like to use Albers conic projection, or something similar. Thus far I have tried using the maps package with its state database (which omits

Hi, I'm trying to plot a map of the pacific ocean, centered on the dateline, using the maps package. library(maps) # Basic library to draw maps library(mapdata)# Library with specialized maps library(mapproj) map(database = "world", fill = TRUE, col = 1, plot = TRUE,add=F, xlim = c(120,300), ylim = c(-20,40)) I tried several different combinations of coordinates, but whatever
